that wide vibrato = schmaltz = chicken fat = tasty soup

about 30 percent of my entire music collection is schmaltzy

the love songs of the beatles
most of abba's songs
hollies song
leo sayer songs
april wine songs

there. are. so. many.

i don't have any engelbert humperdinck songs yet though
but i'm thinking of getting his greatest hits cd

there, i have no shame
i even like tons of disco songs
i'm a song whore, err, song hoarder

except rap
rap has no schmaltzy songs?
i don't hate the pole ease or the pooer
i can only relate to the poverty

anyways, here's mister humperdinck, dincking i suppose

I love a lot of schmaltzy stuff, too much to individually list. To me, everything can't be considered critically accepted and "cool" like the Velvet Underground, (which I love too) and I like all types of songs, bands, music, etc. There should be no guilty pleasures in listening to something and liking it. I always felt that every band and artist had different aims for what they were trying to do, so I don't compare Throbbing Gristle to something Frank Sinatra did, but they both clicked to me in what they were aiming to produce in their own ways.

Some types of stuff I love that is possibly schmaltzy to someone else:

Loads of '60s, '70s AM radio type hits, (whether it was from a One-Hit Wonder or established artists)

Loads of classic disco and dance songs from that era

Loads of late 50s-early 60s Easy Listening instrumentals

Lots of throwaway '80s type stuff etc.

I don't have any stuff that I am ashamed to listen to on my shelves, maybe I should though?

Johnny Mathis has more than a few schmaltzy greats:

Everyone seems to be making industrial covers of this one lately, but the original has schmaltz for sure.
